sugar production
Sweetener manufacturing industry
Sugar production is the industrial process of extracting sugar from plants—primarily sugarcane and sugar beets—and refining it into crystallized form.
The term covers everything from harvesting and crushing to boiling, crystallization, and packaging: Brazil leads the world in sugar production.
It may also refer to the output itself: Global sugar production exceeded 180 million tons last year.
